[EAS] CAP Test Today

[ed.czarnecki at monroe-electronics.com]

Dick - one your your counties was originating a CAP test RWT from their new CAP platform (the good folks at Klamath County Emergency Management, specifically).  

So, while routed though IPAWS, this one didn't originate from IPAWS.  Oregon broadcasters can expect CAP tests from several other Oregon counties, as well as the state OERS.

>Here in Central West Oregon, we received a test last Thursday, Sept. 19, on our three Sage boxes which had the following headers: "Matched filter OTHERS, Received from CAP. Log Only. The Civil Authorities have issued a Required Weekly Test for Klamath, OR beginning at 12:27 pm Thu Sep 19 and ending at 12:42 pm Thu Sep 19 (fromcap). CAP Server: IPAWS CAP Reference ID: daseoc at 172.18.22.50,CAPNET-40-20130919122700,2013-09-19T12:27:00-07:00 CAP Text: This is a test. No action is needed. This is only a test." This is the first test I can remember that didn't have "IPAWS at dhs.gov" in the header. We didn't receive an RWT from CAP today. -- DICK JENKINS | ENGINEER | KEZI-TV | EUGENE, OR | 541.225-1154 OFFICE | __________________________________________________________ The EAS Forum Discussion List is hosted by the BWWG (Broadcast Warning Working Group). http://eas.radiolists.net Please invite your friends to join our Forum!
